I like the shot from behind, however would have liked to see more of the surroundings, especially if the volume of people was just the two of them. Would have enhanced the resting/relaxing atmosphere of the image for me. Good luck.
this is an interesting image. i like the way you framed it. i don't know if you noticed it, but the lighting in the background surrounding the girl on the left almost looks like she's smoking! no telling how this is going to do in the 'best of' challenge, but i do hope you are getting some good comments and suggestions, and not getting lost in the shuffle of this super-sized challenge. good luck!
Nothing about this photo grabs me, makes me say "wow". Without seeing their faces, or some sort of story, there's nothing to relate to. Better luck in 05!
